|
Date: July 15th, 2026 1:50 PM Author: milky low-t plaza I just don't see how this sport can ever gain traction here.

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:05 PM Author: milky low-t plaza which euroleagues? british, french, spanish, turkish? there are too many leagues. the best players are scattered everywhere. on top of the timing differences, there's just too much friction like this to make this an accessible sport for us and that's before we even talk about the product itself which hasn't resonated with american audiences for 100+ years.

|
Date: July 15th, 2026 2:10 PM Author: Alcoholic fuchsia base ceo there are 5 obvious top leagues english, spanish, french, german, and italian. but there's also a bunch of other competition like champions league. and the euros are also good. the point is that there are high level games all the time.
i do agree that the top players are scattered and it can be hard to follow |

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:12 PM Author: milky low-t plaza yes sure high-level games but honestly ask yourself if people would care if rennes is playing toulouse. there's nothing in this for us, MLB is a whole summer pastime with deep local and national roots (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5882929&forum_id=2�id.#50001968) |
|
Date: July 15th, 2026 1:56 PM Author: Apoplectic sanctuary roast beef The last sentence is the biggest obstacle, particularly because top athletic talent here is going to play a different sport. It's like watching the WNBA or minor league. No one wants to watch the B players, and we especially don't want to watch them lose.
I think we should have a Manhattan project where we draft 5% of the top athletic talent into soccer. Not even flame. Giving a handful of elite athletic prospects a government stipend would only cost a few million a year and by 2030 we'd have a competitive world cup team. |
|
Date: July 15th, 2026 2:05 PM Author: Alcoholic fuchsia base ceo i disagree about athletic talent going to other sports because the other major sports in the US cater to vastly different body types. there's no way someone who is 5'9 and 150 pounds is making it in the nba or nfl. even if they bulk up to 170 and trade muscle and power for endurance while maintaining athleticism, there just isn't a place for them in the top american sports. and that size is the prototypical soccer player. sure there are plenty of 6' to 6'4 soccer players too but every top team is full of the shorter guys with a goalie, center backs and strikers being the exception.
i agree with the manhattan project but its goal should be to subsidize soccer training from a young age and get tons more kids playing. soccer is still primarily a middle class sport in the us that quickly costs a lot of money by the time kids are 10+. we need more hungry kids from the ghetto/barrio playing and get chances to KEEP playing through age 18. |

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:15 PM Author: Apoplectic sanctuary roast beef There's plenty of dudes like that in the NFL, MLB, MMA, and NHL. The type of physique that excels at cornerback is perfectly suited for soccer. Shit someone like Pat Surtain could probably walk onto the USMNT with a couple months of training.

|
Date: July 15th, 2026 2:20 PM Author: Alcoholic fuchsia base ceo why do you think the announcers prattle on and on about "touch" and "pace"??
it's because dribbling is really fucking hard to do and really hard to do fast. soccer doesn't reward pure speed + agility. you have to be pretty good at those AND have 15-20 years of practice touching and controlling a ball with your feet.
some of the most athletic guys in the world never get it down and flame out at low levels |
|
Date: July 15th, 2026 2:25 PM Author: Apoplectic sanctuary roast beef I'm exaggerating to emphasize that the talented elite athletes with soccer physiques are here playing professional sports, and implying they are so much better athletically than the USMNT they could just walk on. I don't literally believe they could anymore than I thought MJ would would light up the MLB. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5882929&forum_id=2�id.#50002010) |

Date: July 15th, 2026 2:24 PM Author: seedy orange casino alpha patrick surtain would have atrocious touch and would get laughed out of any serious soccer team no matter how much he trains. you need technical ability in soccer and you learn that instinctually by the time you're like 10. you cant just pick it up in your 20s. also taller guys tend to have higher centers of gravity and more trouble controlling the ball. there is a role for tall guys in defense and as striker but height isnt the major factor it is in us sports. also being extremely jacked isnt really great for soccer. totally different physique requirements (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5882929&forum_id=2�id.#50002005) |
|
Date: July 15th, 2026 2:29 PM Author: Apoplectic sanctuary roast beef See above. It's a joke.
And of course an NFL player is going to be more jacked becuse of the conditioning that's valuable for the NFL. But if he played soccer he would have conditoned himself for that sport. |

But every sports fan understands the drama and excitement for high stakes peak sporting events. That's why we watch a thousand events no one cares about for the olympics every couple years. That's people who don't care at all about football will watch the superbowl. |

And this doesn’t even account for all the other euro leagues, MLS, World Cup, FIFA qualifiers, etc. |
